Murray Shapiro was my father born in Brownsville on 10/20/21. He passed away in 1978. I still have his Lew Wallace JHS autograph book with all his friends good wishes in it from 1935. Some of these people are: Josh Ostsofsky, Meyer Kliegman, Lawrench Schenker, Melvin Werner, David Spector, Albert Tottino, Julius Haberman, Sol Pearlman and more. The principal was Albert King. Some of the teachers were: Miss Hesp, Miss Saso, Miss Zimmer, Miss Oaks, Mrs. Ryder. I know my father loved his childhood in Brooklyn although there were many hard years in the depression. Does anyone possibly remember him? I am writing as many memories as I can for MY first grandchild and would love to add any recollections of this wonderful man as a young child and young man. Otherwise, I hope you all had a wonderful time at your reunion. I have my own great memories of visiting my grandparents on Lott Avenue and rollarskating there and of course the great candy store that was within a block or two of their apartment.

God bless.
